This invention relates to a scrubbing device and has for its primaryobject the prothey may be quickly disconnected;

vision of a scrubbing car whereby the scrubbing of floors may beaccomplished in a relatively easy manner.

An object of the invention is the construction of a car that may bemoved across the floor with very. little effort and which Will not marthe floor. v

A feature of the invention is the padding of the car so as to relievethe scrubber of excessive strains.

Besides the above our invention is distinguished in the novel manner ofconstruct ing and associating the various parts so that lVith these andother ob 'ects in view the invention will be better understood from thefollowing detailed descriptiontaken in con.- nection with theaccompanying drawing wherein:

Fig. 1 is a top plan view of the car.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation.

Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view.

' The remaining figures are detail views.

Again referring to the drawings illustrating one of the manyconstructions of our supported by the casters 2 so as to be easilymoved. over the floor and prevent marring of the floor. openings 3 thatdetachably receive the pins 4: extending from the frame 5. The frame 5is provided with an upstanding wall 6 on three sides, and adjacent thebottom of the frame i provided a cleat 7 supporting the This base isprovided with cushion 8. This cushion consistsof a body portion 9 and apadding 10 upon which the knees of the operator rest;

It will be noted that the base is provided with recesses 11 slidablyreceiving the cross bars 12 of arack 13. To complete the rack we provideend supports 14 which are of a size to rest directly against the floorso that a pail of water maybe supported on the rack without the samebeing subject to excessive strains. It will also be noted that the rackmay be extended from one side to another so that a pail of water may bearranged on either side. To complete the structure we provide a tray 15extending forwardly of the base to supportsoap, wash ragsorany otherarticles.

From the foregoing desoription taken in connection with the accompanyingdrawing it will be seen that we provide adevice that will greatlyrelieve the user of excessive strains and fatigue, and besides, willkeep the clothes of the user in a dry condition, and further the flooris properly protected which is agreat advantage.

It is, of course, to be understood that the invention may be constructedin various other manners and the parts associated in different relationsand therefore, we do not desire to be limited in any manner except asset forth in the claim hereunto appended;

Having thus described our invention what we claim is: 1

A scrubbing car comprising a base.pro-- vided with openings, a framehaving pins that are detachably mounted intheopenings, casters securedto the base, a tray scoured to the base a rack adjustably supported bythebase, and a cushion removably supported by the frame. V

In testimony whereof we afiix our signatures. 1
